Thanks to David Kenney, who played this song on his radio show Everything Old is New Again today–I had never heard it before. Though the lyric is very Disney, the gorgeous voice of Barbara Cook makes the song something special.
Thanks to YouTuber BlondieJohnson
I have the album, it is wonderful. I miss her and Wally Harper!
The story of the composer and lyricist, Larry Morey, is really interesting:
